A Southern baked dessert of Georgia peaches under a biscuit or pie-dough crust, sometimes served with vanilla ice cream. Peak season is July to August.
Georgia produces some of the country's finest peaches; the state has been called the Peach State since the late 1800s. Pearson Farm in Crawford County and Lane Southern Orchards have run since the 19th century. Peach cobbler became the canonical Georgia dessert at Sunday tables and meat-and-three counters across the state. Mary Mac's Tea Room and Paschal's both serve a version year-round, though peak peaches arrive in July and August.
